[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

Well considering you did not think it would help to provide us with the game name you will have to be previded to with some generic answers.

So either your savetype was incorrect. (some games do with with an incorrect savetype...some even seem to be able to save...but it's still wrong).

Or after you saved the emu either crashed or randomly closed without you having since either loaded another game or reloaded this game so the save was never propperly written to the harddrive (which is only done on exit or reloading of a game).

Or you never saved the emu options and when you started the game the next time it loaded on an incorrect savetype which either did not find the original save or saw it as corrupt and cleared it.
